The Jordan River is a significant urban waterway flowing northward from Utah Lake through Salt Lake County until it empties into the Great Salt Lake. As one of Utah's three major tributaries, this river provides a convenient fishing opportunity for residents of the Wasatch Front. Despite flowing through several cities, wetlands and industrial areas, the Jordan River remains an accessible and surprisingly productive fishery. While not heavily fished compared to more remote destinations, recent clean-up and restoration efforts have improved both the river's ecology and its recreational value for anglers.
